Overview | |
Plasmodium yellow. Sporocarpous or rarely forming short plasmodiocarps, gregarious or crowded. Hypothallus reticulate or expanded, colourless or dark. Stalk, when present, pallid, slender, weak and often as an extension of the hypothallus, up to 50% of the total height. Sporotheca pale grey when lime is present or dark grey when it is lacking, subglobose to pulvinate on a restricted base, (0.2-)0.3-0.5(-0.7) mm diam. Peridium single, membranous, delicate, limeless and iridescent or bearing thin flakes of lime. Capillitium delicate, reticulate, appearing white and badhamioid under the lens, but colourless and physaroid by TL, nearly limeless, but with a few scattered nodes and many swollen, limeless junctions. Spore-mass dark brown. Spores violaceous brown, minutely spinulose, (9-)11-12(-13) µm diam.
